Rubenstein's

I am a simple man.  I am extremely easy to please.  A short list of my likes includes: delicious food, courteous people, fun friends, nice weather, and a cold drink.  Give me one or two of these, and you will put me in a good mood.

Sounds fine, but how does this relate to a menswear store?

The other day I was making my way down to the French Quarter to hang out at a friends house before heading out to watch the Saints game.  I swung by Rubenstein's expecting to grab some photos and do some looking around.  About 15 minutes later, having just met the store owner, I walked out with a whiskey & coke in my hand and a smile on my face.  A great testament to a business is when you don't purchase anything but still leave in a good state of mind.

I will go into more detail on Rubenstein's in the next few months, but it is essentially a high end menswear store carrying mostly European brands (think Canali and Zegna) with a strong family history, a great staff, and a great location right on Canal Street.

If you're downtown anytime soon, I recommend swinging by, meeting the staff, and taking a look around.
